I noticed a slowdown too. I know that personally, I do not have the Internet at home (we live out in the boonies so it would be too expensive to get satellite, and I despise aol.) I go to my mom's roughly 4 times a week after work, and that's when I can get on. I really wish I had a comp at home, but my BF might be getting a job where he would get free internet, so cross your fingers; I would be one of those people who'd be online all night instead of sleeping, like I used to when I lived back home!
